It took me forever to finally see this one. I remember seeing the videocassette back when I was a teen, but I hadn’t seen the other two (I didn’t know they had no connections to each other at the time), and never really got around to them until recently. And it’s easy to see why…

Alien: Resurrection(1997) – Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Next up in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book is Joss Whedon’s take on the Alien series, with the very divisive Alien: Resurrection. And while I, personally, despised the final act of the film, the xenomorph hybrid and all the hoopla that came with it, there are some redeeming things throughout. The stories of how Fox…
Defiance S01E09 – If I Ever Leave This World Alive
It never rains, but it pours. Those poor folk in Defiance can’t seem to catch a break! At the end of last week’s ep we saw a reporter stumble into Doc Yewll’s (Trenna Keating) lab, and promptly collapse with blood spilling from her mouth and eyes – and you know that’s never good! It…
Defiance S01E07 – Goodbye Blue Sky
Lots of trouble rolling through Defiance this week as Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) gets wrapped up in a bit of an adventure all while the land is besieged by razor rain (pieces of Votan ships coming down and slicing things up – messy). Irisa races into the Badlands after she has a vision of Sukar…
Defiance S01E04 – A Well Respected Man
I am loving this show, and I now know why Showcase didn’t send me the entire series in one go… because I would have watched them all in one sitting, and then a couple of days later, done it again and again. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows, I love the…
Defiance S01E03 – The Devil In The Dark
Tonight on Showcase the town of Defiance has a new problem to deal with… Hell Bugs. I love this episode’s intro, as the first victim changes from his everyday shoes, to a pair of ADIDAS that he’s traded for and has kept in near mint condition, you know he cleans them after every run……
Defiance S01E02 – Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go
Things getting increasingly shtako (hope I’m using that right) for the folks of the town of Defiance tonight. SPOILERS!!!! Nolan (Grant Bowler) settling into his role of lawkeeper with Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) as his second, is encountering problems already. One of the Castithans who ran during the battle with the Volge is taken to…
